WFIT Welcomes Award Winning Australian Guitarist Tommy Emmanuel

On Sunday, March 8 at noontime, WFIT-FM welcomes award winning Australian virtuoso guitarist Tommy Emmanuel. Tommy is well known for his complex fingerstyle guitar technique. He has performed with a wide range of artists including Tina Turner, Chet Atkins, Eric Clapton, Les Paul and others. Tommy Emanuel will join FredMigliore’s FM Odyssey at noon to perform live on WFIT during our Spring Fund Drive. Be sure to catch this remarkable performance.

His radio career began in 1991 with Another Unconventional Sunday Morning (AUSM), a three-hour innovative show blending esoteric folk/rock with new and emerging singer/songwriters. The show still airs on WFIT – a public radio station in Melbourne, Florida – and was nationally syndicated in 1998 as FM Odyssey. The premier special “A Tribute to Laura Nyro” aired on 90 stations across the country. His audience has grown steadily ever since with further career retrospective interviews with legends such as Judy Collins, David Crosby, and Denny Doherty (Mamas and Papas).
